TnC various issues

When attempting to download the English patch, at the 1.01 update from Nitro+Chiral; the windows do not use any words (By this I mean is only displays characters such as: /?)$%^#. No numerical, letters or even Japanese.), I have deleted and re-downloaded the file two or three times and this has happened.
I have continued after the described problem, it follows through until the game needs to be opened; which it only displays that I need to download a ".pak" reader. I have done this, and have downloaded a second one. Neither seem to have had any effect.
If anyone has some suggestions on how I can fix this problem/s, please contact me.

Hello keikeira! ^_^

What you're experiencing sounds like you don't have your System Locale set to Japanese.

One of the prerequisites of playing (installing) most Japanese Visual Novels, is that you set your System Locale to Japanese. This does not mean your system language will be Japanese, it just means that Windows can display Japanese characters properly, instead of that garbage text.

Please follow these steps here, before trying again:

I hope that helps! ^_^

Hi Kojichan,
Thanks for the information on the System Locale, that worked and now it is in Japanese! But, now my computer is still getting stuck at the ".pak" part, would you be able to help me with this?
Thanks again, Keikeira (^-^)/

Sorry for the belated reply (was on X-Mas holidays).

If you haven't yet managed to fix this issue, would you be able to take a screenshot of the error?

Attachment 166862When I get to this point, the Windows 8 (Should've mentioned that earlier.) pop up appears saying I need to download a ".pak" (Sorry, I can't get it to screenshot of the pop-up)

OK! That looks like you're at Step 3, where you just need to place the file in this window, in the same folder the game was installed. You need to overwrite the existing "script.pak" file that is in the original game.

I'm going to assume TnC was installed into the default location of C:\Program Files (x86)\NitroplusCHiRAL\咎狗の血\ so you would need to open that up in a window, then drag the "script.pak" from 7-Zip into the game install folder.

I will mention, however, if you did install TnC in it's default folder, the game won't be able to Save your progress. It is a rather old game, and it saves data in the same folder it was installed to. Windows, by design, prevents this due to concerns about Adware/Spyware/Malware/Virus'. To avoid this problem, during the installation process, you would need to specify a different folder to install TnC.

I typically install my Visual Novels into a folder I create called C:\Games\ so I don't have this problem.

Good luck!

Sorry, wasn't able to get it to work.
It says that it is the same file, and I select to replace the file (or have both files placed into the same folder, refer to picture), but the pop-up to download a ".pak" file still appears. Do I need to download a 'zip reader' before this? Or is there another way around it? Because I've attempted to download a zip reader but it won't work on my computer due to viruses.

Actually, 7-Zip is already a Zip reader. ^_^ So you're good there! (And Viruses? You have viruses? You got any anti-virus software...?)

Thanks for this new screenshot!

It looks like you're trying to put the English patch into a single folder to run it. You just have the English patch files in there. Just he "script.pak" alone won't run the game, you still need the full install.

It's files should look something like this:

Hello Zitamina!

Actually, Shift-JIS is just a method for writing Japanese on a computer.

If you're interested in installing the ability to view Japanese, so you can play Visual Novels, you will need to set your System Locale to Japanese. ... If you're using Windows 7 or 8, the process can be done via this process: http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/f49/t6...ml#post4219281

Please note, this will not change the language of the computer to Japanese, it will just allow your computer to display Japanese fonts. ^_^ Good luck!

Hello 460023!

Glad the game works so far! Those error messages say:

Quote:

---

File decompression / Execute installation?

---

Then...

Quote:

---

Couldn't read the data inside of the installation archive.
The file is possibly corrupt.

---

The EXE for the patch is broken. It may need to be re-downloaded. Alternatively, to test if it works or not, try Right-clicking on the file "togainu_update_101.exe", and looking for either 7-Zip's "Open Archive", or WinRAR's "Open in WinRAR".

Or whatever Unzipping program you have.

IF the file cannot be opened, it means that the archive is broken and needs to be re-downloaded. If it CAN open, and you can "Extract" the files properly, then extract the 5 files to a folder (THAT IS NOT THE GAME!!!!!), and run the file inside called "Update.exe".

Thank youuu soooo much:hug:. I extracted the exe file and run it afterwards. But now I have another problem (so sorry for bothering you) Now my TNC Image patch.exe doesn't work:sic: I get this:Attachment 167157? Should I extract this one too? I can open it by clicking 'open archive'.

I'm beginning to think you may need to re-download the English patch entirely. ^^;; If all the files are broken like that... it's possible the English patch archive wasn't properly downloaded (corrupt along the way).

The image patch doesn't work the same as the update patch, it literally alters data so it needs to work right out of the gate.

I´ve tried downloading eng patches multiple times, but with no result. I get the same thing. Should I call it quits?

Well, let's see... Where did you download the English patch from?

And secondly... Do you have any antivirus or antimalware/spyware programs running? I see you're running Windows 7, and in a different language. Is the Japanese System Locale turned on? Then again, you did say the game by itself works fine...

It might be that Togainu no Chi is installed into a poor location. It's an older Japanese game so it can have a few problems running.

Make sure TnC is NOT installed into the default C:\Program Files (x86)\NitroplusCHiRAL\咎狗の血 (Or the Dutch version, I'm not sure what "Program Files is in Dutch")

.... Fuwanovel used to provide download links for Pre-patched English versions of games, but I'm not sure where they went.

Hello, where can I find the games full patch? Cant seem to make the game work after so many tries I make :( I downloaded the file from fuwanovel before and tried to follow the steps but I'm stuck at uploading the game from daemon tools. I don't really get what I'm doing actually. So I might be missing a file or the Japanese game itself. Help?

Hmm, yeah it's a shame that Fuwanovel's no longer got pre-patched English translations of games. Made lots of things easier for people. Something to do with their new hosting + website functionality? ...I think? Can't remember if they said they'd get that back up or not... Mh! Anyways...

Let's take a step back and start from the beginning, it might work out better. ^^

Firstly, I'm sure you've done this, but make sure your computer is in Japanese System Locale (Not system language). ( http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/f49/t6...ml#post4219281 )

Second, have you downloaded the game by itself? If you're not too sure, you can re-download it here:
http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/f145/t...ml#post3937599

Mediafire's download pages are less confusing than 4Shared. But once you have all the split files, you'll need an unzipping program called 7-Zip to be able to extract the CD Image of TnC. If you have it already, great! If not, it will make your life easier, trust me.

Once all the split files have been downloaded to the same folder, and you used 7-Zip only on the first "togainunochi.rar.001" file, you should have a CD Image of the game.

That's where the Daemon Tools (lite) comes in. When you open Daemon Tools, you can select what CD Images will be mounted onto your computer (left-most button on the button bar, CD with a green + icon). Once you select TnC, your computer will think it's got the CD install disk in an extra DVD drive.

Feel free to run the installation. It's actually pretty straight forward, if I recall... But there will be a point where it asks you where to install the files. If you can, do NOT use the default location. Try to use an alternate location. I store all my games in a new folder on my harddrive. C:\Games\[...]\ Then I install them there. This saves some headaches when you need to patch the game, and/or the older game needs to save files.

3/4ths of the time, on older games, when they've been installed to the default location of C:\Program Files (x86)\[...]\, they will have issues because of Windows' "anti-malware/virus/anti-malicious anything" safestop. So it's best to nip it in the bud while you can.

Once the game's installed, there should have been an update patch included in the files downloaded earlier. Please run that, as it's a pre-requisite for the English patch. Speaking of... http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/f16/t1...i-english.html Feel free to download it from there! ^_^

Once it's downloaded, there is a PDF inside that has further instructions on how to apply the English patch.


uhm, I made this post a bit long so I'll cut it off here... If I confused you, I'm truly sorry. @_@;; I can try to explain any step further if you need it, or if I lost you somewhere.

When I download it in BitTorrent it says Torrent isn't proper bencoding, and when I download it in Vuze Leap or DaeMON Tools Lite it doesn't open. Please help!

What are you downloading? And from where? Please be careful of downloading torrents from strange sites, as there is a high chance they could be filled with Virus', or Malware or other dangerous programs for your computer.

This topic is for the English PATCH for Togainu no Chi, meaning you need to have the Japanese version of the game already installed and operational before downloading/applying this patch. There are currently no pre-patched versions of the game available, so you may be required to download the game through the normal non-torrent methods, and apply the patch on your own.

Hey there. I wonder if anyone could help me...
I installed the game, but when I try to run it the following window appears:

http://s3.postimg.org/ejh3y0p6p/error.png

DAEMON Tools Lite is still running and I installed the game on my D drive. I tried to run the game as an administrator too. I use Windows 7. I had no problems with running DRAMAtical Murder, but now this... :imd:

~~~EDIT~~~

I solved it! I just had to mount the game in Virtual CloneDrive (version 5.4.7.0) instead of the usual DAEMON Tools. Now it works without a hitch. :yay:

Every time you want to play the game, you need to re-mount the ISO. Make sure the ISO is mounted before playing the game.

I did that, and Im still getting the error sign, I dont understand.

Hmm, what mounting program are you using for Togainu no Chi? Virtual CloneDrive, Daemon Tools Lite, something else?

Also, what folder was TnC installed to, and have you moved it without uninstalling (like cut and paste), since then?

@TheSummoness
I'm also experienced same problem with you and solved it by changing the mounting program. I hope this will be work in your case too, first, try use different program to mount the game. As for me, I've try Daemon, Power Iso, ultraiso and WinCDEmu. And finally it work by using WinCDEmu (link); it's a freeware ^^
Second, do you copy "script.pak" from the patch into your installation folder? Make sure you copy it and keep the both file; so you will have "script.pak" and "script(2).pak" in your installation folder.
Third, make sure that you have mounted the files before start the game.

Hiii again,

I just wanted to let you know that the game works now. :banzai:
I got a new laptop, did everthing all over again and I can play the game now !! :D :happy:
Thank you for everything and sorry for troubeling you so much.

Have a lovely day, Bye ~ :byeb:

Well then! Enjoy the game! ^_^

Hello,

I also have a problem with TnC. The game works perfect, it's just that I have no Extra button.
I know that you have to play a good ending and I did, I played Rin's route. But between the config and the exit button, there is an empty space where the extra button has been when I Ended Rin's route.
Is there someone with the same problem?

@zerolove-
Have watched through the credits completely until the game brings you to the title screen? The game properly recognizes that you went through the route when it goes through the credits.

Hmm, random question... Where did you install TnC?

Mine is: C:\Games\NitroplusCHiRAL\咎狗の血\

If you installed the game in the default location of C:\Program Files (x86)\NitroplusCHiRAL\咎狗の血\ , then it's possible the game couldn't properly save the system data that normally enables that...

Lastly, try playing and getting someone else's good ending as well.
